My dinner club is doing a 70's theme - I need to bring either a soup or salad, but I'm leaning toward a salad. Anyone have a gread "70's" salad recipe they can share? I might just do a layered salad time permitting... show tonight, birthday party tomorrow morning and dinner club tomorrow night.... gulp.:yuck:
 
Jello salad! I always remembered that one seemed to always show up at gatherings and dinner parties. LOL
 
Cobb Salad, Watergate salad. There was also a Watergate cake

The only thing I can think of in the 70's is "fondue":D
 
Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I have plenty of delicious and unique recipes that would be perfect for your 70's themed dinner club. For a salad, I would highly recommend our Layered Taco Salad. It has all the classic flavors of the 70's with a fun and modern twist. Plus, it's super easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, giving you more time to enjoy your show and birthday party. If you're interested, I can provide you with the recipe and any other tips or suggestions you may need. Best of luck with your busy weekend!
